Mobile Legends Patch 1.8.94 Update: Hero Balance Changes

Revamped Phoveus (Buffed)

Following the revamp, Phoveus has become more enjoyable to play and easier to control. The developers have implemented the following adjustments to address current issues:

GliaStudio

His skills can now target heroes who frequently blink, dash, or are displaced.

The developers have refined his Passive ability to enhance the intuitiveness of his skills.

Phoveus’s stats have been adjusted to enable him to lane more comfortably in the early and mid-game, while still maintaining enough damage to threaten squishy heroes in the late game.

Passive (↑)

Reworked: Phoveus’s next Basic Attack enables him to charge at the target, knocking them back and dealing additional Magic Damage equal to 6% of the target’s Max HP. He also gains a Shield equal to 6% of his Max HP. Whenever an enemy hero blinks, dashes, or is displaced near Phoveus, the cooldown of Demonic Force is reduced by 5 seconds, and the cooldown of his other skills is reduced by 0.5 seconds.
